Thanks for the kind words WanderingMind. I love the old rifles, and the albums were a test to see if I could create them. The pictures don't do justice to how the guns really look in person.

MMMM! LOVE the looks of that Ithaca 37! That's a COMBAT shotgun par excellence!

And that M-1 is a nice one, too! I've seen far too many that aren't worth much more than as tomato stakes. As a 4th-grader, I used to help out in the NG armory cleaning M-1s after weekend drill. I could field-strip, clean and reassemble an M-1 almost as fast as the troops! (I always had a little trouble with the recoil spring -- I wasn't as strong as everybody else...)
